Description:
Small subset of the SuperCOSMOS Science Archive, useful for testing queries. The SuperCOSMOS data held in the SSA primarily originate from scans of Palomar and UK Schmidt blue, red and near-IR southern sky surveys. The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide a 1st epoch red measurement. Further details on the surveys, the scanning process and the raw parameters extracted can be found on the further information link. The SSA is housed in a relational database running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Data are stored in tables which are inter-linked via reference ID numbers. In addition to the astronomical object catalogues these tables also contain information on the plates that were scanned, survey field centres and calibration coefficients. Most user science queries will only need to access the SOURCE table or to a lesser extent the DETECTION table.
The database of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) photometrical observations
obtained on defferent telescopes at Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute,
Almaty, Kazakhstan. Observations were carried out in the optical
range.
This is the OAI-PMH endpoint of the purx publishing registry proxy.
purx lets you publish VOResource records by just putting XML into a
web browser. For details, see http://dc.g-vo.org/PURX.

Description:
The Rontgen Satellite Archive is an implementation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC, revision 1RXS) and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Faint Source Catalogue (RASS-FSC, revision 1RXS). The RASS-BSC is derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first half year of the ROSAT mission in 1990/91. 18,811 sources are catalogued, with a limiting ROSAT PSPC countrate of 0.05 cts/s in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy band. The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 15 and contain at least 15 source photons. At a brightness limit of 0.1 cts/s (8,547 sources) the catalogue represents a sky coverage of 92%. The typical positional accuracy is 30 arcsec. The RASS-FSC is derived from the all-sky survey performed during the ROSAT mission in the energy band 0.1- 2.4 keV. 105,924 sources are catalogued and represent the faint extension to the RASS bright source catalogue. The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 7 and contain at least 6 source photons. (The likelihood of source detection is defined as L =-ln (1-P) , with P = probability of source detection).
This is a redacted version of the SDSS DR16 table prepared for VizieR
(V/154/sdss16). It is mainly here to facilitate local matches; for
original SDSS-related research, it is probably better to somewhere
else.
Over VizieR and SDSS, we are keeping most of the per-band values in
arrays to keep the column list manageable. Note that in ADQL, array
indexes are 1-based.
We are trying to orient our column names on SDSS but use underscores
instead of camel-casing (e.g. spec_obj_id instead of SpecObjID), since
mixed-case identifiers in SQL is asking for trouble.
To save space, we do not keep psf-based classifications, per-band
offsets, spectrum metadata, and USNO-related information in this
table. Let the operators know if you need any of that.
